verse 1: 
 
      A5                          D5 
      I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth 
      A5                            D5 
      You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth 
        C5                                 A5 
      She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine 
        D5 
      Sellin' little bottles of 
        E5                   A5 
      Love Potion Number Nine 

verse 2: 
 
      I told her that I was a flop with chicks 

      I'd been this way since 1956 

      She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign 

      She said "What you need is 

      Love Potion Number Nine" 

bridge: 
             D5 
      She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink 
             B5 
      She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" 
            D5 
      It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink 
           E5 
      I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink 

verse 3: 
 
      I didn't know if it was day or night 

      I started kissin' everything in sight 

      But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine 

      He broke my little bottle of 

      Love Potion Number Nine 

instrumental: chords same as bridge; sing last line ("I held...")

outro: 
      D5                  A5

      Love Potion Number Nine 
      D5                  A5   B5   A5   G5    A5
